User reviews
Just what I was looking for! Wasn’t happy to buy huge maps or subscribe when I only hike occasionally. Like be able to buy only sections needed, to load other GPX files and analyse routes in advance and retrospectively for height, speed and distance. Loads of other useful features.
This is better than using the OS maps app in the UK. The maps are the same but the Topo GPS app is much better - once you’ve got used to it. It also has the advantage of offering maps of various other countries. Not all countries are covered there some are superb and an absolute bargain. I am a fan.
This is an excellent map and route planning app. The developed have been very responsive to making changes and additions especially in the UK. The maps are very sharp and the app is responsive and great for either getting a location fix on the move or planning routes. The watch app is a new addition and you can subscribe to Ordnance Survey maps in the UK. Looking forward to the continued development of the app.
This is the best hiking map app I’ve tried so far. The topo info is accurate and detailed. The app itself is simple to use. Would like more overlays that would be useful to someone who does a lot of bushwhacking.
Helps me plan and share my hiking routes, wonderful to use offline so I never get lost, don’t leave home without it!
Can almost replace my gps.
